A battles been chosen Started from the lies you have woven A government meant to protect Is failing That's what I detect Defect Dishonorable choices Overriding and shutting down the power of our voices The first generation to be afraid to speak Is growing weak Complacency is all the youth seems to know Please tell me where did critical thought go That's right, I thought I saw it fly right out the window Creativity and education Have been replaced in our nation By drugs and thugs Speed, **** and greed Video games, dropping names Glorification of stupidity Stories that fall short of validity The selling of *** has reached an apex Controls minds like a hex I'm afraid of what may come next When the only concern Is not to learn But of things going viral Sure seems we've found ourselves in a downward spiral. -Tiffany S.

Downward Spiral
A battles been chosen Started from the lies you have woven A government meant to protect Is failing That's what I detect Defect Dishonorable choices Overriding and shutting down the power of our voices The first generation to be afraid to speak Is growing weak Complacency is all the youth seems to know Please tell me where did critical thought go That's right, I thought I saw it fly right out the window Creativity and education Have been replaced in our nation By drugs and thugs Speed, **** and greed Video games, dropping names Glorification of stupidity Stories that fall short of validity The selling of *** has reached an apex Controls minds like a hex I'm afraid of what may come next When the only concern Is not to learn But of things going viral Sure seems we've found ourselves in a downward spiral. -Tiffany S.
